Skate, Fried

Cut the skate into square pieces; let these lie for an hour in cold water with a little vinegar or lemon-juice, a sprig of parsley, and a few peppercorns, drain, dry, and flour them, dip them in egg and bread-crumbs, and fry them in hot dripping till they are lightly browned. Send brown sauce, tomato, piquant, or caper sauce to table with them. Time, eight to ten minutes, according to thickness. If skate is too much done it is spoiled.
